Let your Yes mean Yes and your No mean No.
As Christians we are called to live a life of sincerity. The homily this Sunday at Sacred Heart was based on the day's Gospel reading that provides us with the first step in living a truly sincere life. Like most teachings of The Lord the words are simple. And like most teachings of our Lord, the practice of the words is difficult.
The Lord said:
Let your Yes mean Yes and your No mean No
Perhaps sincerity starts with being honest in what we say and being honest in how we feel. What does Jesus's saying mean to you?
I'm thinking about taking these words with me on my upcoming Lenten journey.
